"Spotted by VGC, Dealabs reports that Assassin's Creed Shadows will arrive digitally and physically on Switch 2 in December. The boxed version lines up with the French retailer listing for the action-adventure game from yesterday, which noted it will be on a Game Key Card. These have been controversial since they require a download rather than including the game on the physical cartridge."
"However, Ubisoft has defended them previously for performance reasons with Star Wars Outlaws because cartridges aren't as fast for streaming in-game worlds compared to digital storage solutions. The leaked release date also comes with a price tag of 50 euros, which could convert to roughly $50 in the US, but this would be a significant price drop compared to other platforms. The box art shows the standard edition of Assassin's Creed Shadows."
"Eagle Vision isn't required to see the likelihood of Assassin's Creed Shadows coming to Switch 2. Earlier this year, the PEGI ratings website listed the game for Nintendo's system. On top of that, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has even previously teased that "new versions" of Assassin's Creed Shadows will "come to other machines." The game initially launched on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S in March."
Assassin's Creed Shadows is reportedly planned for Nintendo Switch 2 release on December 5, appearing in both digital and boxed Game Key Card formats. Game Key Cards require a download instead of containing the full game on cartridge, prompting controversy while Ubisoft has defended the approach for streaming and performance reasons. The leak lists a price of €50, significantly lower than other platform prices. Box art appears to show the standard edition. PEGI previously rated a Switch version, and Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot teased that new versions will come to other machines. The game originally launched on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S in March.
